Volatile constituents from Andes berry (Rubus glaucus benth)

Abstract:

Andes berry (Rubus glaucus Benth) is a native plant found from the north of the Andes in South America to southern Mexico, but it has also been introduced into many other tropical areas. The berry consists of numerous small drupes on a receptacle about 1-2.5 cm long. When ripe, the berries are dark red or purple and have a unique, heady, and pleasant aroma and a sweet-sour taste [11. These berries are widely cultivated in Colombia, with annual production surpassing 10,000 tons, and are used for making jams, juices, and for the flavoring of ice-cream, yoghurt, etc. The exquisite flavor of this fruit has aroused the interest of the local flavor industry. No reports on the aroma composition have yet appeared in the literature, but other well known members of the Rubus genus have been investigated in Europe and North America, such as the raspberry (R. idaeus L.)[2, 3], the blackberry (R. laciniata)[3-51, the cloudberry (R. chamaemorus, L.)[3, 6, 7], and the artic bramble (R. arcticus, L.)[3, 6, 8, 9].
